Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal

The redskins need TW much more than TW needs the Redskins or the money. Although some suppose that we can easily replace TW with Penn, you’re replacing elite with VERY old, average (at best). Our left side of the OL preseason game got TOTALLY ABUSED in PS game one, as well as committing numerous penalties. We just wasted what, $3.5 mill, on Flowers who is turning into a total failure. Why didn’t BA offer that $3.5 mill as guaranteed money for Trent?

Offer him serious guaranteed money or trade him, but playing “chicken” with him will work about as well as it did with Cousins.

Our left side was not our starting left side, and it faced a very strong Cleveland DLine.

Penn and the rookie guard actually looked in sync and I expect them to be the starting left side if TW doesn't come back and play.

That said, I agree that playing the waiting game is the worst of the 3 options for the Skins. Gruden and Callahan ought to go to TW and then take his grievances and get them taken care of by the FO and get TW back on the field.
